Palmetto State Arts Education

Palmetto State Arts Education Palmetto State Arts Education (PSAE) is dedicated to​ connecting educators in advancing student learning in and through the arts.

08/31/2026

There’s a version of a well-funded school that has music, theater, visual arts, and dance. Where students don’t just memorize content but learn to think, collaborate, express, and adapt. That version exists — but it requires federal investment. 🎨

A recent national survey found that roughly 9 in 10 Americans believe arts education is important for students, and 83% support government funding for pre-K–12 arts education. The five well-rounded education funding streams we’re fighting for — including Title I, Title II, Title IV-A, Title IV-B, and dedicated Arts Education grants — are what keep those programs alive, especially in low-income communities where local funding runs out first.

The President’s FY27 budget would cut these investments dramatically.

Tell Congress this summer: the well-rounded student is worth funding. Every single one. ✊

📖 New on the Arts Chat blog: Bringing History to Life Through Movement, Story, and the Arts by Frank Powell.

What happens when students don't just learn history—but experience it? Through movement, storytelling, and creative expression, arts integration helps learners make meaningful connections that last far beyond the classroom.

As Frank reminds us, "Arts integration isn’t an 'extra.' It’s a pathway to deeper learning and understanding."

Discover practical ideas and fresh inspiration for bringing history to life through the arts. Read the full blog at www.palmettoartsed.org/artschat and join the conversation!
